Fair Catch

Spoiler-Free Review:

It has been months of a bit of a reading slump for me. Not reading at my usual pace and just the chaos of life— but this book has just sparked a binge that I can't wait to continue! I've been seeing Kandi Steiner around Instagram for a while now, and I'm mad at myself that it took me this long to get to this series! Fair Catch follows Riley, a female college football player, and Zeke, Riley's brother's best friend and Riley's teammate. A tragic accident when they were in high school has caused a rift between Riley and Zeke, but when the two are forced to be roommates in the athletic dorms, Riley must look beyond her bitterness toward Zeke for the good of the team. Tensions rise— like a lot— between them, and the payoff is absolutely satisfying. I would call this like a medium-burn but with lots of tension. Fair Catch is a brother's best friend, forced proximity romance with a little bit of friends with benefits vibes sprinkled in. This is a new adult romance, 18+ for sexual content.
